Holy crap, the single worst steak in my whole life. Ordered it medium rare, received it cooked like a sole of a shoe. Took one bite and that was enough - I didn't even eat it. At least they took 50%. Paid my bill and then went to another restaurant to buy dinner a second time. The waitress was polite. read more

The airport landing lights that surround the bar have scared everyone a way. Warm lighting will bring people back to sit back at the bar. The bartenders want to close early every night and push people to leave early so it works for them. Dim the lights around the bar and invite the customers to stay for the evening with a warm, welcoming staff would help sports business come back. A lot of people have stopped going here because the bartenders make them feel unwelcome and push them to leave early. Dim the lights, turn up the game and encourage the customers to get comfortable and spend money. You are the best sports bar, let's go back to that status. read more

Went in for the name draw. Great atmosphere as expected. Decent beer tap list, but the food was morose. The fish & chips were OK, but my club sandwich was dry, with small diameter, yet thick chicken pieces and small bacon slices. I'm willing to try the other franchise locations, but won't expect much. read more

I had been to the old location a few times, but only tried their new one in the Sydney River plaza on an overcast, cool Saturday in July for lunch after 1pm. The place was mostly empty with tons of tables and booths, and capacity for well over 100. Typical sports bar atmosphere with one of Don's framed jackets hanging in the entrance way, TVs, other memorabilia such as a crazy, giant helmet on the wall, some natural lighting coming in, but relatively basic overall. Friendly staff. My mother tried their Mexican Dip (cream cheese & salsa served hot with nacho & pita triangles) which wasn't bad, had a decent flavor. I don't see prices on their online menu though. I tried their potato skins minus the bacon, which come in jacket/full 'boat' form, which I actually prefer over the sliced pieces of potato. They were as basic as can be, but fine, no complaints. 2nd visit: supper on Heritage Day (Feb 2018). My parents and I drove into Sydney from Sydney River to go to Montana's, but the lineup was pretty long, then the same as Swiss Chalet. We drove back to Sydney River to see if Ziggy's was open, it was not, and so we settled on Cherry's, knowing we like it, but just nothing special. It wasn't busy at all, with maybe ten or a dozen tables taken out of the many more. Pretty fast service. I tried the chicken fajita wrap with peppers, onion, cheese, salsa, sour cream, which was good and what you'd expect. Side garden salad instead of fries was just your typical salad. My mother tried the 2 pc fish & chips, and she is not a big eater normally, so took one filet to go, because the portion was quite large. My father had a burger (the Great White North by looks of the online menu?) and it looked and apparently was fine, not bad, not special. No prices on their online menu so not sure what we paid. When I'm visiting Sydney again, there's nothing that would bring me back here on my own, but there's nothing against it if someone else wanted to go there. read more

Wasn't anywhere as good as the Don Cherry's that was in Newfoundland. The wings were terrible. I'd give it another shot though.

The wait was about 30 minutes they had a great night shows angry poutine and but the business is a very good they have a lot of TVs and a lot of sports going on so if you're into sports you might like it read more

New location is nice, but the food quality is sub-average. Tasted like prepackaged frozen food you would buy at a grocery. Rather bland and disappointing. Service was slow. Will not return. read more

Took my folks in for supper. Heard the horror stories about the long waits. Restaurant was quite busy for a Tuesday, but we were waited in very quickly. Had our food fast. Great service from our waitress, the food is OK. Not great but it's a chain restaurant, it was what I expected. The new place looks nice. I was pleasantly surprised. Disappointed to see the peanut butter burger. We have an allergy in the family so we will not be able to eat there together. read more

The best thing about this place is the name... guaranteed you won't catch Don eating a steak in here he wouldnt feed that 10oz hand cut striploin to his dog... read more

Service was horrendous, our waitress Bonita took 30 minutes to get us a refill on our drink never asked us how our meal was never introduced herself. We had to wait to get the reciept to get her name. The food was great. Just a shame about the lazy waitress if it wasn't for Bonita it'd be 5 stars read more

Visiting Sydney and I wanted to check out Cherry's after a great experience several years ago. Sadly, restaurant did not meet my previous memories. Chicken wings were over priced, even for their cheap day (Thursday $7.99 a pound). Our table ordered a burger and the mayo, mustard came in individual packets. Like seriously? Your charging $14 for burger and you are giving packets of condiments. $18 nachos were average at best. Not coming back. read more

I think this has to be one of my favourite places to go. Always enjoy their Irish Nachos and with their new location it is much more spaced out and comfortable. read more

Frequent this establishment for wing nights (Tues & Thurs evenings). They are always delicious and hot. The deep fried pickled are amazing and so is the Mexican Dip. Servers are very friendly and speedy even when the place is packed, which is often. Excellent place to watch any sporting event Will always return & highly reccommend! read more

A good place to gather with friends to watch the game or anytime for that matter. Can't complain about the food, nothing super special, pub food, but not bad. Waitress was on the ball making sure our draught was alway full. I will go back next time I'm on the Island. read more

Well date night it ruined after being here for 30 mins waiting for a table couples and families continued to walk in and receive their tables while we're still waiting. Finally after getting a table our waitress comes over asks if we want anything to drink to start and takes our order our drinks came she's not polite at all... worse night ever and it just started... big disappointment read more
